Subdivisions shall be approved in three stages: sketch plan discussion stage, preliminary plat stage, and the final plat stage.
(a) The sketch plan discussion stage requires the subdivider to discuss with the Planning Director and City Engineer the proposed subdivision so that he can become familiar with subdivision requirements, existing conditions, and future plans. This stage also insures that the subdivider will not be required to expend excessive monies without some assurance that his plat will be finally approved.
(b) The preliminary plat stage requires that the subdivider present all information needed to enable the Planning Commission to determine that the proposed design is satisfactory and will serve the public interest. Upon approval of the preliminary plat whoever subdivides may have prepared the construction and drainage plans as required in Section 1111.11(b).
(c) The final plat stage requires the subdivider to present a plat together with all data needed to enable the Planning Commission and Council to determine that the subdivision fully complies with these regulations and conforms to the approved preliminary plan. After acceptance of all streets, highways, or other public ways or open space by Council, the plat may be recorded.
